Abstract Understanding the thermodynamics and kinetics of the binding process of an antibody to the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein is very important for the development of COVID-19 vaccines. In particular, it is essential to understand how the binding mechanism may change under the effects of RBD mutations. In this context, we have demonstrated that the South African variant (B1.351 or 501Y.V2) can resist the neutralizing antibody (NAb). Three substitutions in the RBD including K417N, E484K, and N501Y alter the free energy landscape, binding pose, binding free energy, binding kinetics, hydrogen bonding, nonbonded contacts, and unbinding pathway of RBD + NAb complexes. The low binding affinity of NAb to 501Y.V2 RBD confirms the antibody resistance of the South African variant. Moreover, the fragment of NAb + RBD can be used as an affordable model to investigate changes in the binding process between the mutated RBD and antibodies.

Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
